Corel is selling the whole WordPerfect Office suite, which includes
WordPerfect and Quattro Pro.

The suite is about $150 a copy. buy.com has a 5-pack which is a better
deal, but it is back-ordered.
There is also Applix:
This is usually some sort of permissions problem. If you ran Gnome for
the first time while you were root, perhaps root owns the .gnome files?
I suggest you become root and execute this command:
# chown -R wayneb:user /home/wayneb

To use a Radeon with any sort of Linux you need Xfree86 version 4.0.2 or
newer. This is available under Debian; you will need to install Debian,

I agree completely.
MP3 is one such.
Sorry, I do not agree. As long as there are patents controlling MP3, MP3
is not sufficiently open.
The current best one is Ogg Vorbis.
Okay, here's my two cents on this topic.

PostScript printers should be very easy to get working, as the
Linux/UNIX world pretty much has standardized on PostScript. If you get
a non-PostScript printer, you need software on your

The Gnome environment uses EsounD, the sound daemon originally written
for the Enlightenment window manager. The actual name of the daemon is esd.
esd will work great with a Sound Blaster Live! card. When you said
enable sound server startup you were saying yes to esd, but esd did
not work.
It was the kernel. I'm running 2.4.1 now and that fixed it.
After I got the system into a known working state (by re-installing from
the unofficial Woody CDs) I built a new kernel. I figured out that I

use the net when the computer is booted into Win98, so I can
download something, then boot into Linux to use it. Also I have a CD of
Progeny beta 3 and the unofficial Woody CDs to get packages.
I tried very hard to solve the problems on my own, but I am stuck!

this is the correct long-term
solution, but I'm running and right now that's all I care about.

reminds me of the way X handles authorization... I must study this
more.)

I have a Gnome desktop set up and working great. I used the packages in
unstable, not the Ximian/Helixcode stuff. But I am having trouble with
esd, the esound daemon.
esd isn't automatically starting up. I went to the Gnome Control Panel,
and under Sound I checked the checkbox to

Hello. I am a brand-new Debian user. I have another computer running

I'd like to get my Debian system running the same desktop environment as
my Mandrake computer. But my

Perhaps we can collect the responses together, edit them, and put the
